Two things we know about Hongkongers: we’re all pushed for time, and we all love to party. If you’re gagging to throw a get-together with a difference and minimum fuss, we suggest ordering everything you need from honestbee.hk, who will do all the shopping for you and deliver your party pack to your door within an hour of the time of your choosing. Here are four super easy theme party ideas they can cater for to get you thinking:
American Style BBQ
If you’ve got a terrace or rooftop with a grill, or you’re down to hit up a beach-side barbecue pit on the weekend, this is one of the easiest kind of parties you can throw in Hong Kong.
Don’t scrimp with crappy supermarket meat. Get the highest quality burgers, sausages and steaks from the Butcher’s Club Shop and some decent bread and condiments from Gateway or Fusion by Park N Shop supermarkets. For drinks, keep things ‘Merican with craft beers from Craftisso. That’s literally all you need, besides a few loud friends to yell “Hell Yeah!” and “Whoop!” at regular intervals.
Great Gatsby Martini Night
To really class it up and whisk your guests to an era of extravagance and excess, you can’t do much better than a Great Gatsby Martini Party.
Get your spirits (you’ll need gin and/or vodka and vermouth) from The Tramline Liquor Co. if you’re going top shelf, or Gateway and Fusion if you’re sticking to a budget. Don’t forget the olives, which you can get from the same two supermarkets. Anything black and gold goes for Great Gatsby, so get your Shopper Bee (that’s what they’re called) to pick up some Ferrero Rocher chocs while they’re at it. They’re probably STILL on offer from Christmas!
Greek Toga and Wine Party
Everyone has a spare white sheet at home, so throw an impromptu Greek Toga and Wine Party to keep things fun and frivolous. And remember, no underwear allowed. #ShwaffleAlert (Google it).
Insist that everyone brings their own sheet, and then all you need to sort is an ocean worth of wine. Well, you want to do it in true ancient Greek/Fantasia style, don’t you? We recommend shopping for the best stuff at Ross Wine or Pro Food, and perhaps adding some stomach liners in the form of the Mixed Charcuterie Pack from The Butcher’s Club Shop.
New York Bagel Brunch Party
Dig out your New York Yankies cap (everybody has one somewhere) and host a New York Bagel Brunch Party for a spot of weekend afternoon fun.
Made fresh every day from the secret Schrage family recipe hailing from New York proper, Schragels bagels have everything you need in one place, including batches of mixed flavour hand-rolled bagels, “lox”, AKA smoked salmon, and “schmears”, AKA plain, scallion, and honey & pecan cream cheese. It’s going to be schmazing!
Lucky for you, lazy shopper, honestbee.hk is waiving its concierge fee (normally HKD25) for the entirety of this month. First time customers can also use the HKCOCO100 promo code to get HKD100 off any order of HKD350 and above until Sept. 18.
Party on, dudes.
